On March 31, former ‘Hashtags’ member Ryle Santiago discussed what happened to him during the pandemic.
At the media conference for his contract signing with Viva Artist Agency, which LionhearTV covered, Santiago said he moved into a corporate job.
Santiago revealed, “When the pandemic hit, nag-corporate job po ako believe it or not, as a graphic designer for a FinTech company in the UK. Dahil po maliit po ‘yung company, salu-saluhan po ng mga responsibilities. So, I wasn’t just in graphics, I know the ins and outs of marketing din. So medyo, na-experience ko ‘yung corporate life for a year.”
He also started a live-streaming and influencer marketing agency with his brother.
Aside from corporate jobs and starting a business, Santiago had also created music with his brother and recently worked in an upcoming ‘Boys Love Series’.
Santiago shared, “In the down time po, nagre-release rin po kami ng music ng brother ko. And I just got out of a show, actually– it will be airing, hopefully very soon. It’s a queer series– by Chroma Entertainment, starring Adrian Lindayag, Neo France Garcia, and directed by JP Habac, so isa pong dapat abangan– late last year, pero ang target sana ay anytime soon, finishing touches na lang po.”
Santiago was a former member of the Hashtags with Nikko Natividad and Wilbert Ross.
He worked on productions such as #ParangNormal Activity, Bakwit Boys, The General’s Daughter, and Tubig at Langis. Santiago also dabbled in music with his song, Iniismol.
He recently signed his contract with the Viva Artists Agency as their newest artist with his parents, Sherilyn Reyes and Christ Tan, and his siblings, Lorenz and Anya.
